Parking

From an urban viewpoint, Montepulciano develops almost vertically, being built on a hill. There are parking facilities for cars and motorbikes more or less everywhere, even if in the higher part of town (Cathedral, Piazza Grande, Fort) there aren’t many parking spaces and tour buses aren’t allowed. There are spaces reserved for buses and coaches in piazza Pietro Nenni, below the Sanctuary of Sant’Agnese. From here, you can take the lift to the Poggiofanti gardens and start visiting the town, walking up the main road. Buses can also stop, just to let passengers on and off, near Porta delle Farine.

In Montepulciano, parking is easier with Whoosh

Pay-and-display parking areas for cars and motorbikes are equipped with a service that allows you to pay for your parking online, without the need for coins or magnetic stripe cards, and, above all, to extend your parking time, simply using your smartphone or a computer.

Using Whoosh is extremely easy and handy: you need to create an account on www.whooshstore.it or via the app available on iPhones and Android, by registering the license plate number of one or more cars and linking your personal profile to your credit/ debit card to be used for the payment.

All pay parking spaces in Montepulciano are identified with a number that has to be stated online at the time of parking (stickers with the code are applied to the parking meters). Time adjustment is made directly on the display, and the payment is automatic. The parking enforcement personnel will check the regularity of your parking through the license plate number of your vehicle. To this end, it may be useful to display the Whoosh permit on the dashboard or windscreen.

With Whoosh, to extend the duration of your parking session you just need a simple touch on the display of your smartphone.
